5'10" 180, I fit well. However I still prefer my 17" Kirkey's in my 944!

I'm 5'0", 105 pounds, so obviously no problem fitting.

My brother is about 6', 200+ and he has only ridden as a passenger but doesn't like my car and feels like it's too small for him. He's used to driving a Jeep Cherokee.

I'm 5'10" and 206 pounds (i play rugby and work out too much/not enough). I fit fine, a bit snug, but fine. My brother who is about an inch taller and 10 pounds lighter thinks its a bit snug, but more than comfortable enough for a 3 hour drive (which he has done). You should be fine, but it depends on your seating position in your truck

Im 6 2 and about 180llbs, I do find it a bit tight in the Boxster, Ive got all the seat adj as far back and as low as it goes and still would prefer a little more room, I dont know how someone taller than me would fit, maybe it depends on the leg to body length ratio.

Do you have a 986 or a 987? The 987 offers more leg and headroom, with the re-design.
